    An unusually wet autumn has pushed some Alaska rivers to near-record volumes (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Heavy autumn rains have rivers running unusually high across Interior and Western Alaska, with some approaching water volume records set during the catastrophic 1967 Tanana Valley Flood. Earlier this month, the Chena River reached a minor flood stage below the Moose Creek Dam. The water was low enough that the Army Corps of Engineers didn’t need to open the dam’s gates to divert the water, but University of Alaska Fairbanks climate specialist Rick Thoman said there are still some public safety r

    UAF project aims to reduce US dependence on imported critical minerals (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Researchers at the University of Alaska Fairbanks say work is already underway on a project to reduce the nation’s dependence on imported critical minerals. That’s after the U.S. National Science Foundation awarded the university $15 million this summer to lead a regional collaboration the foundation calls a critical mineral accelerator engine. Christi Bell, the project’s chief operating officer, said the first phase has mostly involved talking to industry experts to better understand what’s in

    After 5 years, a bridge to reconnect the Denali Park Road is finally open (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    A packed bus with bicycles racked to its exterior began a two-and-a-half-hour drive up toward the Polychrome area, a waypoint on the Denali National Park road that’s known for its colorful volcanic rocks. It’s a long, winding ascent, but hardly a dull one. Outside, the mountains burned with fall color — an inferno of scarlet mosses and gold birch leaves.

    Forget jets and helicopters. Data centers could be Alaska military towns’ next noisy neighbors (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Salcha resident Sarah Hollister walked down a neighborhood trail that leads to a pond outside Eielson Air Force Base. It’s part of a military recreation area — civilians and servicemembers alike come here to hike and fish — and a passing military helicopter reminded her of exactly where she was. Lately, though, Hollister has been worrying that her community could be swallowed by a more persistent kind of noise — the hum of a data center. “The roar of jet fighters and helicopters overhead has alw

    Tok prepares for winter amid devastation from the Mukluk Fire (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The Mukluk Fire has burned 50 homes, 108 outbuildings and more than 7,000 acres in the eastern Interior community of Tok since it started last month. But avenues of relief are opening up for residents as winter closes in. In late August, Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s disaster declaration activated the state’s individual assistance program, which covers serious losses and necessary expenses not paid for by insurance.
